Blogs come in all shapes and styles, and have become an established part of the literary, journalistic, professional, and social landscape. They are a great way to establish a platform as a writer or expert, promote a business, or just let the world know what you’re up to.
Perhaps you would like to start a blog. Or improve your blog. The beautiful thing about blogs is that you don’t have to wait for permission to publish your work. You can just start doing it. The trick, though, is to do it well.
Here you’ll get an overview of the entire blog process—focusing your concept, setting up your blog, generating good content, attracting attention. All under the guidance of an experienced blogger.
This course is geared for students who are new to blogging, or without much experience in the field.
Some technical advice will be offered, but there is no tech support for setting up or adjusting a blog. (If you want technical assistance setting up and learning to maintain a blog, consider our One-on-One Blog Launch.)
If you wish to focus specifically on blog writing, then consider our Blog Writing course. If you want help reaching a wider audience, consider our Blog Boost service.
